To start, yes, we need Operators and I’ll leave it at that. You have a wall of words here, one huge paragraph so I’ll try to decode your post. As far as Kennedy goes, it’s not like the Army wasn’t aware of the accusations, there’s no case to be made. Not even a file on the accusation, no legal charges filed, it’s nothing. What I see is a bunch of jealous assholes trying to take down one of their own because he’s outspoken, visible and successful. The dude is involved. You don’t see him, even before the bullshit, talking crap about anyone but these guys are trying to build platform from it.
If you watched them, go back count how many shows they’ve done on him and just not because of his alleged “stolen valor”. Use some common sense, do you understand the security and background checks you have to have to get onto the grounds of the White House let alone sit in on meetings with Hegseth and the rest of the administration? But again, aside from Kennedy they’ve called McPhee a liar, Rob O’Neill a liar, Shawn Ryan, “how many of his guests do you think are lying?”
Imagine being a civilian watching these things trying to gain some inspiration or even watching some training and all you get is a gossip show tearing down other operators ….That’s what kills recruiting. For the record, I unsubscribed from most if these assholes almost a year ago. Too much whining and bitching
I'm sorry, I get easily disorganized and clutter up my posts, I know
From what I can tell, most everyone in that sphere agrees that Tim's book was fiction and a joke. Most said they didn't even try to read that shit. That the leadership in the army or whatever hasn't taken down Tim makes me conclude that it's not good business to them or that they've actually colluded with Tim to concoct a good heroic story to increase recruitment. Same as with Rob O'Neill, no one seems to have come to his defense amid the accusations, they either haven't wanted to involve themselves or have said Rob's story is BS. Same as with that sniper who was then shot at the range, his book was full of lies and stolen valor and he said he had gotten awards which he clearly had not but the army didn't care to correct the record publicly, bad for recruitment I guess. They did provide files of his record though, added some bronze stars or whatever, no big deal. Tim invented a medal or two as well.
I don't give a shit about "success" or white house access. All kinds of crooks, liars, dictators (Trump called Zelensky one), genociders (Netanyahu), junkies (e.g. Musk, no one gave Musk any drug tests, his employees for sure have to take them though lol), BS artists, and etc, are invited there. Means nothing to me. Background checks? Checking for what? If they said something bad about Jews I'm sure Lol. There should be higher principles, apart from some subjective "success," that is awarded don't you think?
The channels you say are grifting on Tim Kennedy et al, all bemoan how bad some operators make the Seals etc look through their social media presence. There's some double standard there perhaps but they justify it by saying if they don't police themselves and try to hold these operators to a higher standard then who will?
I get it, you trained with Tim and he was a swell, smooth talking dude who knew some moves and you were awed, who cares about him being full of shit, he's a "success"
As I understand it, Tim lost a whole bunch of sponsors and many don't want to touch him anymore because he would ruin their reputation.

Hey, and take a look at Ketamine Musk in the White House
